George Stroumboulopoulos will also host a new magazine show, CBC News: The Hour on Newsworld. He will bring his trademark cut-to-the-chase attitude to coverage of daily events ranging from Canadian politics, to international headlines and entertainment.
Newsworld hopes to lure some of Stroumboulopoulos’s fans from his stints on The New Music and at 102.1 The Edge and The Fan 590, adding younger viewers to the somewhat staid net’s normal mid-range demo, says publicist Ruth Ellen Soles. The Hour premiers Jan. 17 and runs Mondays to Thursdays at 8 p.m.
